Alaska is discounting awards across the board with a 3 Day Award Sale, knocking as much as 2,500 miles off flights (each way). I’m seeing transcontinental flights like NYC-SAN/LAX at 10,000 each way in coach and short routes discounted to 5,000 miles each way.

While I think the best use of Alaska miles is for 1st/Business class to Asia (free stopovers to boot!) these can be a decent value as well. Here’s a link to the sale page.

New to all of this? The “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available now.

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! Several years ago, I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born. Since then, I've written my book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points (2nd Edition) - (author profile), give seminars on miles and points all over the world, and occasionally write for publications such as Frommer's and Forbes Advisor.
